over this world, and behold, everything
is softer and more beautiful."

Well I don't know about everyone else but I have begun decorating for Christmas. I am ready for the season to begin! It is so much fun every year to get out your boxes and rediscover your Christmas treasures. It's amazing how many things I forget! This year though there is an extra special treat for everyone because I am putting some Christmas treasures in my Etsy Store. --The most special Christmas treasures of all … drumroll … my beautiful hand made Christmas boxes! Gasp! Very carefully crafted and filled to bursting with sparkles, pearls, and roses these boxes are one of a kind! I hope you will pop by and take a look but for now here is a sneak peek of the Christmas decorations and a couple new vintage items for sale. I hope everyone is starting to get in the Holiday spirit!

I don't know about everyone else but I like to start my Christmas shopping early. Actually - I like to start Christmas in general early! I have already started going through my boxes full of Christmas decorations and bringing out the odd piece here and there. I love seeing the decorations starting to appear in shop windows. It's so exciting! Are you in the mood yet? I know in the States you're still in Thanksgiving mode so probably not but I am definitely starting to feel the urge to bring out the tree, drink hot cocoa, and sift through bins of pretty wrapping paper and trimmings.
I have added a good sized batch of new treasures to the Etsy Shop. I hope you will take a look! Here is your sneak preview! Expect Christmas related posts soon - I don't think I can wait much longer! Haha!

for therein lies the true strength,
and whosoever loves much performs
much, and can accomplish much,
and what is done in love is well done."

I realized recently that I never posted about one of my big summer projects. You all know that I do custom art pieces called "About Me" or "Favourite Things" Collages. I did one about a year ago for my Mum and I have done many, many more since (If you want to see the post I did about my Mum's first collage you can see it here). Well my Mum decided this summer that she deserved to have another one! I worked hard on this one - made it bigger and better than the last one - and the finished result was framed. I thought I would show it to you for fun! My Mum and I share the same tastes and this collage is all about pretty things that she loves from French furniture, to jewelry, to Marie Antoinette. I hope you like the pictures!
Also there are new pretties in the Etsy Shop!
